This man was an absolute indie publishing legend.
Rest in peace Atom-ji!

Of course we are always thrilled when people buy from our webstore but one thing we find slightly troubling is--it's usually Gujarati names ordering our translations from Gujarati, Tamil names ordering our translations from Tamil, Mizo names ordering Mizo Myths, etc.
Branch out you guys! Try some foreign food!
Just got an order for "Kumari Loves a Lobster"
It's a typo but it's giving us ideas 🦞
The Kumari Loves a Monster book (a bilingual romantic picture book about South Indian women in love with hideous monsters, by Rashmi Ruth Devadasan with Shyam) is out of print but we're planning a campaign for a reprint (and possibly a sequel?) next year
Meanwhile, you can get the ebook...
